White Gold

Today you could stand on a parapet, and throw out rolls of toilet paper to the delight of the crowd, like snow from the heavens — white gold. 3/13/2020

Kim, I would like to catch the white gold from the parapet. But my Charmin day's are long past. I use the New York Times these days. -Richard

A shortage of toilet paper, who would have thought that this has any relevance to today's crisis. However I'd better hurry out and get ours as well! White gold - who would have thought - great imagery and thought provoking. Blessings Kim,Jennifer.

Crazy! Grateful my husband bought a pack before this happened. Now we think about how much we use, keeping it to a minimum! Blessings...Kim

Yesterday people lined up in the rain for 2+ hours for one package of toilet paper per card at Costco Pearl City. What a load of crap! Aloha! Rico

I lived in Pearl City for 3 years when I was in the Navy! One restaurant used to have a monkey bar. My kids don’t remember their time there but they had so much fun in the sun. Aloha and be safe! Hope this crappy situation is over soon!

Need to have good humor so we don’t go cuckoo! Some people are already...it was just latent, Now full blown.

All over Europe the war for white gold is raging my dear friend, Kim. In Greece not yet. Well written . Take care.

I love this! So appropriate right now. I said to my husband do we have any extra toilet paper? He is going to bring a six pack home if he can find it. These white golds may become our new currency.

True...too true! Funny how you use as little as possible. We never think about these things. Same thing with water. The drought had me filling up a pitcher of water as I waited for water to warm up. Never thought about the waste before then. No drought now after all this rain. Be blessed!
